2020 Census -- Black Egyptians White

Dr. Mostafa Hefny, a native Black Egyptian, is identified by the United States government as white. He has been fighting the U.S. for over 30 years to classify him, and those like him, under his proper designation--a Black man. But the U.S. Census in 2020 still listed all Egyptians as white. Arab-descended Egyptians did not conquer Egypt until circa 639-646 A.D., with the onslaught of Amr ibn al-'As and his troops. Since as early as 1915, W.E.B. DuBois fought against the white framing of Egypt, in his writings. And French journalist Constantin Volney published his book "The Ruins" of Empires in the mid to latter 1700s, which lauded the heritage of the Egyptians as Black people. Mostapha Hefny would like this cleared up via the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration.
